c5 Z06 Calipers

[RiceEatingZR1]

I am thinking about upgrading to the c5 Z06 Calipers front and back. the questions I have are:
1: is it a simple bolt on replacement?
2: should I then use c5 Rotors and brake pads?
3. on the rear how will it effect the Ebrake?

Thanks for the help in advance!

I am thinking about upgrading to the c5 Z06 Calipers front and back. the questions I have are:
1: is it a simple bolt on replacement?

Yes it's simple. When doing the fronts and with the bleeding, it should take no longer than three hours start to finish.

2: should I then use c5 Rotors and brake pads?

You can, or you can use base C6 rotors. Pads I recomend the Hawk HPS. I would also recomend using the base C6 caliper as it is a better piece than the C5.

3. on the rear how will it effect the Ebrake?


Don't worry about the rear, just refinish the rear caliper to match the front.

Thanks Jeff! Do I need any adpters for the new calipers? or will they just bolt right up?

Here are some shots showing the difference between the C5 and C6 calipers.

I like those!! What would a complete setup cost for those thinking about it, Jeff?

[RiceEatingZR1]

Will they fit with the stock 5 point rims?

Yes, they are the same size as the C5 calipers, just a little revision to make them better. There is plenty of clearance with the 5 spoke rims.

The C6 base calipers come in graphite. They are roughly 105 each plus the cost to refinish them.

Ooh-hoooooo...Graphiote calipers are on the to do list for next year sometime then, those look sharp. Nice work dude.

What do you do for rotors?

[Jeffvette]

You can use either C5 or base c6 rotors.

[Jagdpanzer]

Jeff,
Can you supply the whole kit to convert the front brakes from C4 to C6 base calipers? and about how much $ are we looking at?

[Jeffvette]

Let me work you up a quote. You want stainless lines?

[HADI-ZR1]

and what about the rear?
any better rotors and calipers for our Zr1?

[Jagdpanzer]

You want stainless lines?

Sure, for the rear to.

What would be the total cost including parts w/ the C6 calipers?
